Jekyll Bootstrap with LLM-Assisted Setup

Built with WonderChat AI.

Technical Summary

This entire blog was bootstrapped using WonderChat AI and GitHub Actions, all managed from a phone. The LLM-assisted setup process involved prompting the AI to create the site structure, configuration, and deployment workflows.

Architecture

This repository contains a static site built with GitHub Actions workflows that were set up using WonderChat AI assistance.

GitHub Actions Workflows

1. jekyll_setup.yml - Bootstraps the project with:

   • Ruby 3.2 setup
   • Project initialization
   • Custom configuration
   • Dependency management

2. publish-pages.yml - Deploys the site when tags are pushed with:

   • Ruby environment setup
   • Build process
   • GitHub Pages deployment

Key Features

• Responsive design with mobile-optimized code blocks
• Custom CSS for rendering conversation logs (user prompts in blue, LLM responses in green)
• Automated dependency management

Documentation

The main post (_posts/2024-05-15-conversation-as-llm-instruction-template.markdown) contains the complete conversation log with the LLM that was used to set up this entire project, making this a self-documenting bootstrap process.

Usage

This repository serves as both:

1. A functional static site
2. A demonstration of AI-assisted development workflows
3. A template for others to replicate the LLM-assisted setup process

How to Replicate

To replicate this setup process:

1. Create a new GitHub repository
2. Use the jekyll_setup.yml workflow to bootstrap your project
3. The LLM will handle the configuration and setup process
4. Use the publish-pages.yml workflow to deploy your site
